Brit homes INVADED by huge monster rats ‘climbing into baby's COT’

Horrified residents in Hull claim their homes are being overrun by the rodents after the local council carried out renovation work.

They claim they can hear the animals scuttling around their homes and spotted dead ones lying in the street.

One woman Louise Beaumont, 41, a mum-of-six, said the creatures made their way into her baby’s cot.

“I am really concerned," Mrs Beaumont said.

“I just want to get out of this house but I can’t get the money to.”

RODENT: This monster rat was found in Tyne Street in Hull

Mum Amanda Eastwood fears for the safety of her four children after having rats inside her home.

The 26-year-old, whose children are aged between eight and one, said: “There’s lots of dead ones in the alleyway and it’s not nice.

“My four-year-old son came down to the toilet once and he came running back up the stairs saying ‘mummy there’s a rat’.

“It’s unnerving to know there are ones down the road.

“They are horrible and they just get under your skin.”

RODENT: This monster rat was found in Tyne Street in Hull

The householders believe the vermin has been released following major regenerations work to improve three streets.

Now people living in Tyne Street are reporting an invasion of rats, according to the Hull Daily Mail.

Resident Kesley Piercy, who has a three-year-old son Miller with her husband Christopher, claims to have heard the rats rummaging in her loft.

She is worried her son could end up picking up “rat droppings”.

She said: "I think it’s something to do with the drainpipes because the council did work on them and my partner think the rats are coming up the pipes.

“The council need to take some responsibility.

“We’ve been here two and a half years and we never had any trouble until this work started.”

A Hull City Council spokesman said its environmental health officers have visited Tyne Street but have not found any rodents.

The spokesperson said that one report of a rat turned out to be a mouse.

"Further investigation in the area at that time did not reveal evidence of rat activity, however this does not mean it is not possible rats are present,” said the spokesperson.

“We certainly, at the current time, have no evidence to suggest there has been an ‘influx’ of rodents in the Tyne Street area – we have received the call referred to in this statement and one further one yesterday which will be investigated thoroughly.

"If we find out that there is indeed a viable rodent population in the area, we will act accordingly.”
